Atlanta Highway District thanks commissioners

Dear editor:

On behalf of the full-time residents and landowners of Atlanta, Idaho, we want to extend our thanks and gratitude publicly to the three gentlemen who serve as Elmore County commissioners. Mr. Albert Hofer, Mr. Franklin Corbus and Mr. Wesley Wooten have all shown frequent and significant support of the Atlanta community in northern Elmore County.

Most recently they have met with the Boise County commissioners in an attempt to reach an agreement regarding a plan to provide winter maintenance of the one road that serves Atlanta during the winter months.

After Boise County Commissioners refused to maintain this lifeline to Atlanta for the coming winter, the Elmore County commissioners came to the table to help resolve the issue. Without this involvement, we Atlanta residents would be facing a most difficult 2013-14 winter. With their help, an agreement has been reached that will allow our residents to maintain contact with the outside world during the harsh winter months.

In Atlanta, we are indebted to our county commissioners for their service and commitment. We appreciate their work on behalf of our community.

The Atlanta Highway District Commissioners:

Alan Lake, Ron Sherer, Robert Bartimoccia
